A follow up on a followup - this time it's to add a link to the
YouTube API blog about Flash
and the HTML5 <video> tag.
A couple of good points in there - and a few things you can take away
from it. Yes, Flash provides a convenient way to lets users record
straight from their machine to ChatrouletteYouTube, and
yes Flash has some rights management and streaming goo that let's
YouTube control access/rights for commercial content ... in the US.
And
Ars Technica's write up of the FFMPEG VP8 write up, which has some more
useful
context.
